    Poe's Law - without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views that someone won't mistake for the real thing. You cannot tell the difference between extreme satire and genuine stupidity or fanaticism because real-world opinions have become just as ridiculous as jokes.

    Again, I can't tell if you're serious with this reply or if this is another joke
